Through our sessions we are interrogating these ideologies.

Wordless picture books are a great investment for multilingual families. You can retell the story in your child's different languages, and adapt what you focus on according to their interests and ability. 📚
Wordless picture books have a big role to play in helping children develop their language and literacy skills. Check out @scottishbktrusts advice for sharing wordless pictures books scottishbooktrust.com/articl…
